Reminds me her Lumix photoshoots more.

[Ashen Twilight]

There are bigger covers available at amazon.co.jp

500x500 =)

very simplistic. i like it but don't love it. her free single covers are 100 times better. but i love ayu no matter what. getting the cd+blu ray! woot woot

[~kashifaita~]

Gosh, the meltdowns about this entire album are too much lol.

Anywho, I love the covers!
Really was expecting a continuation of the free singles so seeing these was a nice surprise.
I love the CD ver. the best. Colours doesn't seem as unreadable and I like her pose here c: .

I love her makeup for these. So simple

[emi♡]

that text just really...ruins everything.


At least the inside photos will probably be really nice. As much as I hate these for covers, I like the idea, and I am dying to see the rest of the outfit. The tiny pieces of her dress are the best part of the covers.

I just wish they had been a little more dynamic, same style, but with better poses. This album is fun. There's no reflection.



As for the random Koda and Namie discussions...you can say whatever about their music. Their production is always on point.

I actually find it hilarious that Namie's FEEL album featured very simple, classy covers, and now Ayu puts out these.

Except Namie's covers had something fun and interesting about them, so they worked. Ayu's are just boring mag shoot poses with text slapped on them to try and make them more dynamic.

Great photoshoot!

[Elednist]

Good looking, but boring as an empty vodka bottle xD
Unfortunately, since like 2010 any ayu album cover has been interesting at all, maybe PQ, I don't know, just looks like an average pic from any magazine.
Nevertheless, still expecting for some cover surprise in the future.

The covers are simple and classy, but I think it'll be better without those big fonts.

[Takakayu]

Big fonts make the cover. Her best album covers since Love songs.

[Deep snow]

The more I see it, the more I love these covers. I don't know. The colors (colours) are just right, the font is quirky, and she looks fantasmic. From the hints of the clothes I don't know if I'm going to like them; thank God they aren't visible.

[pepper]

i dont like the fact i cant see her nails :C

[Corvina]

Hm, the photos are actually alright, though I have some minor problems with these covers: the poses for CD+DVD and BluRay. Those poses don`t do her face any favour. Also that text. I mean, the photoshoot is classy and mature, but the typo is so childish. Plus that terrrible placing for some of them.
They`re definitely not bad and I like looking at them (CD only ).
But my heart aches a little, if you know what I mean.

@emi♡
Yeap, Namie did invented the simple classy covers... Ayu is just following her pace. And I don't really think Koda's production is anything to write home.. Her discography is filled with filler and most of her concepts are ridiculously obvious... "Oh, this album is called Kingdom, so I'm dressed as a queen...", "Oh, this other album is called Japonesque (even if the only japonese thing about it is the language I speak), so, I'm dressed like a sexy geisha"... ok

@November4
Past>Future I agree, is an amazing pop album well worked from begining to end. Uncontrolled and Feel are pretty much EDM by the numbers with pretty (and boring) videos whose only purpose is being pretty. Her sound may be polished and hip, but I don't care about it because there's nothing about them that make them Namie songs.
And people around here accuse Ayu of rushing her releases and leaving everything for the last hour everytime they dislike something.... I can see a well though concept on most of her albums and I'm pretty satisfied with most of what she released on the last 5 years or so... Don't act like your (rather crappy IMO) music taste is some kind of universal view on quality.

I don't even know why people are comparing these covers to Namie's FEEL ones, they have almost nothing in common except they're close-ups, lol. Maybe something on the hairstyle, but apart from that, they're clearly different!
Namie's naked, in black and white, with heavy make-up, doing symbolic gestures. Ayu's wearing a top/dress, and looks natural and fresh, surrounded with light. NOTHING ALIKE. lol
